In today’s internet-era, the public’s appetite for interesting ‘stuff’ is voracious and their memory of said ‘stuff’ so short that they’ve practically forgotten whatever it was they gawping/ listening/ mooing at in the second it took them to ‘swim’ from one side of the digital fishbowl to the other. Plus the amount of ‘stuff’ out there keeps increasing exponentially. In this environment, any record company that fails to market effectively is a

TRU FUNK: Party Breaks: Essential Selection (2013)
TIMEWARP INC: Ghetto Drunk Remixed Vol. 2
Timewarp Inc.‘s Ghetto Drunk LP from back in February gets a another whirl around the remix tree on this second volume of remixes which travels (not unsurprisingly) by the name of Remixed Volume 2.

SAMMY SENIOR feat. RAYNA: Don’t Touch My Heart (The Remixes) (2013)
Don’t Touch My Heart? Fat chance of anything not being ‘touched’ when it comes to remixing a release. And the time when Sammy Senior‘s excellent MC Rayna-featuring ghetto funked-up, swing-hop banger from February got passed around the grubby mitts of B-Side, DeFunk, DELimentary, and the Mustbeat Crew was no exception. It got a thorough groping. Check the results below – expect four different adventures

Various: BBP Remixed (2013)
Apparently May is international ghetto funk/ nufunk/ breaks remix month for here is Badboe‘s heavyweight scene label Breakbeat Paradise with twelve of the best from the BBP library getting a rework. Perhaps unsurprisingly, among those being remixed are some of the remixers. That’ll be Tom Drummond, Jayl Funk and Badboe himself – of course – after all, what kind of man throws a party

MUSTBEAT CREW: Boogie Woogie (2013) Free download
Hungarian outfit the Mustbeat Crew have knocked out a top slice of Electro swing/ Balkan breaks in the shape of Boogie Woogie. Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve Jools Holland and technically, Hungary isn’t in the Balkans. But somehow ‘breaks influenced by Magyar culture and other non-specific Eastern European influences’ doesn’t trip off the tongue (or

BIG M presents: EZ Icarus – Funky Vine (2012)
Hey everybody, it’s EZ Icarus with his track Funky Vine whereon he walks the bass through a 140 bpm breaks/dnb thing complete with chopped up vox from a soul sister version of Marvin classic I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Yet another BigM release hot on the heels of two others? I bet you’re wondering how I knew? It took me by surprise when I found out yesterday. Just fucking with you

THE GEMINI BROS: Trump Skyscrapers (2012)
BigM’s latest drop sees The Gemini Bros deliver four-tracker Trump Skyscrapers. When I was a kid ‘trump’ was the word one of my mates dad’s used as a euphemism for a fart (bear with me – this is going somewhere) so you can imagine my amusement when I discovered there was an obscenely rich bloke called Donald Trump. Somehow it was appropriate. Anyway

JOHNNY PLUSE: The Market Street Cut Up (2011) Digital release/ remixes
Not quite the East End gang brawl it sounds like, Johnny Pluse nevertheless brings along enough remixers for this digital re-release of 2009’s The Market Street Cut Up to almost make it worth starting a ruck. There are eleven mixes available from the likes of (deep breath) Ewan Hoozami, Quincy Jointz, Hong Kong Ping Pong, Totalcult, Mustbeat Crew, Rory Hoy, Dusty Tonez and Funkanomics. Gang leader Pluse’s skankin’ 2011

PULPFUSION: Sex, Drums, Funk & Roll EP (2011) + video,
Forget Swizz Beats – this is all about Swiss beats for it’s from the land of expensive watches and expansive bank accounts that PulpFusion hails. The Sex, Drums Funk & Roll EP finds Mr Terence Thony (there’s an umlaut on the ‘o’ but not on my keyboard) indulging his love of big ass drum breaks, funky samples and rock guitars in quite spectacular fashion. Oh yeah – and sex
